Comparative analysis of agronomic characters of non-transgenic (WT) and transgenic T2 plant progenies in greenhouse condition.
| Agronomic trait | WT | JBC1 | JBC2 | JBC3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plant height (m) | 3.22 ± 0.10 | 3.10 ± 0.18 | 3.30 ± 0.17 | 3.25 ± 0.18 |
| Stem length (m) | 3.00 ± 0.12 | 2.91 ± 0.16 | 3.11 ± 0.13 | 2.97 ± 0.12 |
| Basal stem diameter (mm) | 21.00 ± 1.1 | 20.50 ± 1.8 | 19.80 ± 1.54 | 21.20 ± 0.98 |
| n.s. | n.s. | n.s. |
The values represent the mean data of 10 progeny plants (n = 10) from each line ± standard error. Mean comparisons of different agronomic traits between WT and transgenic jute lines and between the three transgenic lines were non-significant (n.s.) with P ≥ 0.05 (in ANOVA test).
